Cristiano Ronaldo ended his Champions League debut for Juventus in tears after being sent off against Valencia on Wednesday .
Ronaldo was shown a red card by German referee Felix Brych in the 29 th minute at Estadio Mestalla after an altercation with Valencia defender Jeison Murillo .

The decision seemed harsh . Ronaldo was being tracked by Murillo in the penalty box and aimed a small kick at his opponent as they tussled .

Murillo instantly fell to the ground and , after consulting his assistant on the goalline , Brych sent Ronaldo off .

The striker dropped to the floor in disbelief and had tears in his eyes when he finally walked down the tunnel.

Ronaldo will now miss Juventus ’ next game in Group H , which is at home to Young Boys on October 2 .
